Latest reviews on Lefkos's beaches

Apella beach
10 Aria Vasilievna.

This place is absolutely amazing. You can find some shaded areas, but it's about a 10-minute walk away. It's definitely worth it if you want to protect yourself from getting sunburned. However, it's unfortunate that the sailors from Amore III have been littering their cigarette butts all over the place. It's really disappointing.

Kira Panagia beach
8 Aria Delgado

This stunning beach boasts crystal clear waters that gradually deepen just a few meters from the shore. The coast is adorned with soft sand and small rocks, making it unnecessary to wear swimming shoes. While sunbeds are available for a set price of 15€, it is recommended to arrive early to secure a prime spot. Snorkeling is an okay option on the sides of the beach, although there isn't much to see. Two taverns/bars are conveniently located nearby for food and drink. The beach is a 25-minute bus ride (6€ round trip) from the city of Pigadia, winding through the hills on a snakelike road. Note that some boats are parked in the area, which slightly limits the swimming space. Overall, this beach is undoubtedly one of the best in Karpathos.

Achata beach
6 Lysandra

This beautiful beach with crystal-clear waters that are sure to take your breath away. However, the only downside to this paradise is the presence of local men who insist on charging for the use of sunshades. If you choose not to pay, they can become quite insistent and may even ask you to vacate the area. It's truly a shame that such a gorgeous location is marred by the actions of a few individuals.

Paralia Lefkos
8 Kian R.

This beach is truly remarkable, boasting a beautiful expanse of soft sand that's perfect for a range of beach sports and activities. It's an ideal destination for families with children, as there's plenty of space for little ones to run around and play. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a day in the sun and sand.

Potali beach
8 Zyra Quin

The beaches in this area vary in their characteristics, but they all have a charming and peaceful atmosphere. Instead of sand, you'll find a unique touch with stones.

Paralia Kato Lakkos
10 Sylvia Thalassinos

While you can't drive a regular car from the main road to this beach due to the sandy/rocky stretch, you can easily walk or use a 4WD. It's definitely worth the effort. The beach is secluded, wild, and absolutely stunning with turquoise water, fish, and rocks. It's the ideal spot to unwind, discover, and appreciate the beauty of the island. Recently, the beach chairs have been licensed by a friendly young local, and they are very affordable. We were fortunate enough to run into him on the way down the path, and he kindly gave us a ride down (and back up!). Overall, a perfect 10/10 experience!
